Account Manager - Sales & Service

The Seals•Mentor, OH

9d•Hybrid

About The Position

We’re a new local franchise helping commercial kitchens keep walk-ins, reach-ins, and freezers sealed and running. This role is primarily about building the customer base. You’ll prospect restaurants, grocers, and other foodservice operators in Northeast Ohio, turn conversations into orders, and often complete the work yourself. Existing-account inspections and add-on sales are part of the job, but the priority is finding and closing new accounts. Commissions are uncapped. The SEALS of Cleveland fabricates and installs commercial refrigeration gaskets and related kitchen products on site. We serve restaurants and other foodservice operators across the Cleveland area. The company is early-stage, so this person will help build the book of business from the ground up—not farm an existing list. Want a strong quality of life with built-in demand as a member of the country’s premier refrigeration gasket and sealant company? We are The SEALS, and we help commercial kitchens stay compliant, safe, and be fully operational. Whether it's serving restaurants, stadiums, hospitals or hotels, The SEALS is committed to providing the highest quality products and services that save time, money, and hassle – keeping customers ahead of the health inspector.
